Size: 27 / 13 / 10 (H x W x D) inches; 68 / 34 / 26 (H x W x D) cm.

Here is a great video presentation of Deuter Futura PRO SL 40 here, do not miss it:

I hope that the model presented here is what you have been looking for. But if this is not the case I warmly recommend you to have a look into these posts about some other Deuter backpacks, the SL type and general:

Great Website! I’m looking to buy a women hiking backpack and am split between Deuter ACT Lite 35+10 SL and Deuter Futura PRO 34 SL. I realize that both offer different capacity and the ACT series is lighter but apart from that I couldn’t see much difference. Would be great to hear your thoughts on this?

Hi Zeinab, great to hear from you. The most important difference between these two packs is in the back panel. So in the Futura packs (in all types) you have a trampoline style mesh between your body and the pack. So the pack is completely separated from the body and this is the best possible ventilation you can have. So if ventilation is very important, you should consider Futura packs.

Now, the Futura Pro 34 SL is with the fixed torso length, while in the ACT Lite packs and in the new Aircontact Lite 35 + 10 SL (please follow the link to see more), the torso length is fully adjustable. This may be important for people whose torso is somewhere in between the sizes.

Also, the main differences between Futura and Futura Pro packs are summarized here. Note I have been using Futura packs in the past 20 years, so let me know if you need more info, I shall be happy to guide you.

I know it may be confusing if you are not familiar, so do not rush and read carefully. Whichever you choose it will serve you for decades, speaking from my own experience, those packs are incredibly durable.

The Futura series is the best they have ever built. They have invented the mentioned tensioned trampoline mesh on the back, this was several decades ago, and now many other brands are introducing this feature.

Hi Jovo, thanks for the great info, the mountain bag I’ve currently got and use a few times a year is over 10 years old, and doesn’t have any functions like wet laundry compartment, detachable rain cover, and not as many attachments as these ones, so it’a good to know such as these are available. Personally the top one’s good enough (small enough) for me, as what I have now is 24 inches high. Thanks again!

Hi Jovo. Am back to your site once again, looking like am now becoming a constant visitor but what really draws me here is the quality of the articles you produce. The review you’ve provided for this equipment is really good. So I will be tracking this equipment to see if I can get one. It sure looks like the best for a mountain adventure.
